600cc Increased Oil Capacity:
The Tomei oil pan provides 600cc (0.6 liters) of additional oil capacity compared to the factory pan. This extra oil ensures the oil pickup stays submerged during high-G cornering, preventing oil starvation that can lead to bearing damage and engine failure. The increased capacity is especially critical for drift cars and track cars that experience sustained lateral G-forces.
Internal Swing Baffle Plates:
The oil pan features internal swing baffle plates that prevent oil surge during cornering, acceleration, and braking. These baffles keep oil around the pickup tube, ensuring consistent oil pressure even during aggressive driving. The baffle system is race-proven and designed specifically for the high-G forces experienced in drifting and circuit racing.
Maintains Factory Ground Clearance:
Unlike many aftermarket oil pans that hang lower and reduce ground clearance, the Tomei pan maintains the same ground clearance as the factory unit. This means no scraping on driveways, speed bumps, or track curbing. The increased capacity is achieved through optimized internal design rather than simply making the pan deeper.
Oil Temperature Sensor Port:
The oil pan includes a PT1/8 threaded port for installing an oil temperature sensor. Monitoring oil temperature is critical for performance driving, allowing you to ensure oil stays within safe operating temperatures. This port makes it easy to add temperature monitoring without drilling or tapping the pan yourself.
Race-Proven Design:
This oil pan design was developed and proven on Tomei's own N2 series Silvia race car. The design has been tested in the most demanding racing conditions, ensuring it can handle anything you throw at it. When Tomei says "race-proven," they mean it - this pan has competed at the highest levels of motorsport.
Why Oil Starvation is Dangerous:
During high-G cornering (drifting, circuit racing), oil in the pan sloshes to one side, potentially uncovering the oil pickup. Even a few seconds of oil starvation can cause:
- Bearing damage from lack of lubrication
- Increased engine wear
- Loss of oil pressure
- Catastrophic engine failure in severe cases
Why Tomei?
Tomei Powered has been manufacturing high-performance parts for Japanese vehicles for over 50 years. Their oil pans are trusted by professional drift teams and racers worldwide for reliable oil control in the most demanding conditions. Every Tomei product is engineered and manufactured in Japan to the highest standards.
Installation Tips:
- Lift engine or remove for access to oil pan
- Clean all gasket surfaces thoroughly
- Use new oil pan gasket (included)
- Torque bolts in proper sequence to specification
- Fill with factory oil capacity PLUS 600cc (approximately 0.6 quarts)
- Check oil level with dipstick after filling
- Start engine and check for leaks before driving
Perfect For:
- Drift cars experiencing oil starvation during sustained angles
- Track cars needing consistent oil pressure during cornering
- Drag racing applications with hard launches
- High-performance street SR20DET builds
- Anyone serious about protecting their SR20DET investment
Perfect For: Serious SR20DET drift and track builds requiring race-proven oil control with 600cc increased capacity and internal baffling.
Pro Tip: Remember to add the extra 600cc of oil when filling - use factory capacity plus approximately 0.6 quarts.
IMPORTANT: Not compatible with Nissan Pulsar N14 engines - different oil pan design.
